no being sexist but suck it up.. happens to the best of us get over it and ride on no reason to sulk about it and it was barley that bad seeing how it was only 5-10mph, to be honest your being over dramatic in your video and you even say it wasn't that bad but your acting like its such a big deal.. just my 2 sense sorry if i come off being rude.
try riding with no mirrors its fucking weird as hell at first haha (bike only came with one mirror and it got knocked still got none oh how fun it is : D) and everyone comes off sometime its just how it is
It looks like your bike was just dropped in the garage. What counts is that you are just sore. Bikes can be repaired easier. Yes it sucks to go down, but I found out more, that a broken bike and pride, is always better than ending up in the hospital.
@frozenskipper accident usually involves another vehicle. I also never put in a claim to my insurance agency since my bike wasn't that bad off. So according to the insurance company I have never been in an accident.
glad your all good i love watchin your vids i learn so much from i dont even have a bike yet and feel good about getting one now i know theres more i need to learn but meanwhile i can just learn from watchin you lol well keep the vids comin
So glad that you didn't break a bone or hit a car! I've been in an accident on my bike I don't know if you're familiar with Orenco station the MAX stop? I was going 60MPH on 30MPH and I slid over a wet cross walk and I high sided the same way you did. However, I broke my wrist and injured my knee pretty bad, that was Oct. 2010. I'm good now and I'm still riding 8-)
Just don't let it get to you or scare you of riding which I doubt you are :)
@Millionaire2020 My question also. Why in the rain? Avoid rain when possible. Your bike has minimal damage. If its not leaking or anything seriously bent, leave it. It builds character. Bet you wont do that again. If you ride a bike you have to expect crashes at some point. Nothing serious happened to you and thats good. But you cant fear it next time. Always ride safe, with protection, and not in rain! Ive crashed three times and Im not stopping yet!
Glad you're safe. I seriously teared up when you told us how your boyfriend helped out. That's totally something my husband would do. So glad you're safe and wow those frame sliders helped a lot.
shit i hope your ok and hows the bike now ? i rote my bike off about 3months ago i had a gsxr 600 k2 movistar :-) but one day i was out onit only doing 28mph and a car driver turns into me i went over the car bonnet and landed on me head i woke up in hospital and me back and neck and privets was hurting haha i was gonna do a short video of the damage to my leathers and helmut i was more botherd about me bike then meself haha looks like i wil have 2 save up and start again :-( lol x
I feel as chocked up as you look :( that must be hard to deal with I guess your first and lets hope only crash must have shaken you up. My first Crash did not as bad as yours but very scary. I was lucky my Bike only cost £1,000 ( $2,300 or so ) Hope you better and hope your bike got good in the end. Your Boyfriend did a good job what a lovly guy. Be Safe Ashf00t
hey ashfoot this is david sorry if my english a little bit laime im from israelת even thoe your slide was 2 month ago i feel you i wans rode on a rain and my rear tire slide over as i turned my bike if i remember corectly i was driving somthing like 40 kmph and i head the same broken things on my bike accept my nee was'nt protected so my skin sorry don't know the ritgh word i think tucoff but accept that i didnt have any problem riding it after word's hope your arm is beter and your riding again

Thanks for the report. I wish more people dissect thier crash like that, for what it is worth, you helped me be aware of railroad tracks and how they can take you out.
i know how it feels to wreck . me and my girlfriend wrecked on a honda goldwing around 40 to 45 mph when an ederly lady decided not to turn left after she started to.instead she went another lane over wich was our lane and stopped . i wasnt able to stop quick enough so i had to choose to lay the bike down and not ram the car. my gf broke her forearm and got some scrapes and i rode the bike down and slid around 70 feet under it but just scratches and bruises. just be careful
I know how u feel, I recently was at a gravel patch on gixxer where I low sided at like 5mph, it sucks I need a new left fairing cuz I didn't have a frame slider and my bikes black, it sucks but it happens to the best of us stay strong
Hey ashf00t - I know I'm a bit late with this but that sucks! I'm glad you are ok. Too bad about the bike, but at least you weren't seriously injured! Great channel btw
I know I'm a little late on this..but I'm happy you kept your chin up and as a fellow motorcycle rider..you and I both know the risks that come along with riding a motorcycle. Life goes on and I'm sure you'll have your bike fixed up and back on the road regularly. Hope everything worked out :)
Wow, that sucks! However I think it was agood thing. There are three types of riders; Ones who have never been down and who WILL! Ones who have already been down and will again, and ones who have been down and will NEVER go down again! You just need to figure out which type you are. Every ride is a learning experiance!
@ashf00t that is so crazy! I have seen a couple of your vids before but never realized you were local, so sorry about this incident :'( Is there any tips for avoiding this situation (besides don't ride in the rain lol) I just got a Suzuki GS500f and have been riding around the Hillsboro area. Still learning as this is only my second bike (started riding in July) but any rainy season weather tips from a local Oregonian I would much appreciate!!! :)
You are lucky, the damage to you and the bike was minimal. I ride in Oregon too and I recommend Dunlop Roadsmart tires, they are a little less sporty but in the rain they are amazing.
Good video. I dropped my 1# bike 3 times in first month. I only broke the breaklever. It is nervewrecking on first bike that i bought this year. dl1000 has quite good framesliders, i dont have crashbars.
First day riding I experienced frontwheel breaking on sand while turning, wet road markings and wet cobblestone. but i never fell, I think it is because I ride my bicycle all winter slippery road is quite familiar. just pull the clutch.
im just exited to get black ice in the mornings :D
Aw, this blew past my subscription inbox, as I was on my road trip at the time. I'm sooo sorry! :-(
Sadface doesn't really do the trick, but I hope you know what I mean. Here's to hope for a full and speedy recovery for both you and Nacho (poor guy...).
And if you get any hater trolls, don't let them get to ya. I had sooo many after my crash. I still get them from time to time. Haters will hate.
Sad, but I hope that You restarted to use Ur bike, meanwhile ... ;-)
Watching Ur vid I've got a dejavue: exactly same happened to me when I was a small kid. Rain, railtrack, slipping, falling ... from bicycle, of course. At home,my mom hughed me,when I told the story, and started laughing - exactly same had happened to her when she was young: same spot,same situation, same fall.
Next morning we two went there by bicycle, and crossed the track during sunshine - my mom's antishock therapy ... ;-)
That's the scariest crash to have, so make sure you get back on any bike ASAP. Chances are you'll still get The Fear for a while, but I'm sure you'll be fine! :)
Well, I say that's the scariest... A few years back I was riding along and had a fallen telephone cable go across my throat. Braking as hard as you can whilst waiting for it to tighten and lop your head off is scarier than a highside, I can confirm lol!
Im really sorry to hear you went down, Im really happy you weren't hurt to bad its hard dealing with going down especial if you own such a good looking bike like you.
Was wondering why I hadn't seen anything new, that's brutal! Heh I hear you on the mirror. Had my Ninja 650 backed into at work, not only was the mirror cracked and useless I thought the mirror was going to fall off all the way home, was scary. Fun times. Almost exactly the same damage, makes you sad when you see it. :(
The important thing is that you are okay! Bikes can be fixed, so don't worry. Hows the fixing going?
Glad your ok every rider goes through it. At least you walked away from it. Take care and hope everything is better. Take as lesson and learn everyday
Railroad tracks are a bitch lol. I've loss traction in my car the same way but at least your all good, bike can be fixed love. :) weird your rear slider broke off.
@Xcelld It's slowly getting back together. But with upgrades? Well if a crash happens again I'd rather it be cheap parts and not a $700 new yoshi exhaust...now THAT would be a sad day! lol
it always happens going to or coming home from work... i smashed into the back end on an illegally parked 18 wheeler on the side of the long island expressway about a month ago.. theres nothing worse than the feeling you get when you lock up the back wheel and go into a slide and know your smashing into something and you cant stop it.. (stomach drops) my 09 zx6r hit at about 20mph and and i got lucky that my plastics ,ram air box and headlight assembly absorbed the whole impact..
well, i'm glad you're ok....you have a long life ahead of you sweetheart....the bike can b fixed or repaired but you only have one life to live...wish you well!!
@samfisherkiller Well my bike is a 600 and the 07 is right before they started to make those settings. But on a 600 does C mode mean it's a 250? Cause my bf who has an 08 1000 says his C mode is like a 600...lol
You were extremely lucky that your first fall was as minor as it was. If a 10 to 15 mph high side is your worst wreck as long as you continue to ride during your lifetime, count yourself fortunate. Its not a matter of if you'll crash, it's when. From one vlogger to another, don't ever record in heavy rain while riding, you made a good decision by not doing so. I don't even record in the car during inclimate weather. Fix it up and get back out there. The worst thing you can do is be afraid.
@Birdrunner54 I know, I am very lucky, I'm glad it wasn't anything worse! I've found a cheap way to always be recording though...not necessarily vlogging though. I got a spy cam that can be put out of the way and not be distracting. Good insurance for that one day a car crashes into me from not seeing me then says I caused the accident...Here you go buddy! I've got proof you caused it :)
PS. I've been riding ever since that day, when it's your only transpo, ya kind of have to lol
when I toured New Zealand South Island there is a section where there are few that cross diagonally across the road and you need to turn against them. Fortunately I was told about this location before hand. I was told numerous people had come off there and riders with many years experience had come off, even so I thought I was completely upright crossing the first one (raining) but still my front wheel skipped
@chochi70 oo ouch, ya I'd be so careful with those now! Just the other day I went across one in a light drizzle and even though I was completely upright, my rear tire still wiggled and scared the crap out of me again. I need to talk to the city officials about it because due to tree roots or just heavy cars/trucks going over it caused the little sections of rubber to stick up and now has an uneven surface, which could cause an accident!
Damn girl!! Glad you're okay and didn't break anything! That's exactly why I hate riding in the rain; I'll do it if I have to, but rain makes me the biggest pussy when it comes time to make a turn around a corner at an intersection (or anywhere!). Hope you get back out on the road soon!!!
@OkiHondaGirl Ya, I've actually never broken anything...knock on wood. I hope it stays that way too! One of these days I'm going to buy a car...just don't know when lol
Sorry u got hurt Ash. Sorry that ur Baby got damaged too. I hate wet roads and the rail tracks will usually get u with those tires and a slight lean. The main thing is u are ok, just a bruised ego. U will always remember this and stay upright from now on. Hope the parts u need arent to expensive.
I know how you feel, I just recovered from a crash 2 months ago, broke a bone in my hand.. But Im out on the roads again 2 months later(thanks to wearing gear), takes a while to get comfortable riding again though.. Glad you werent seriously hurt. Even though it feels bad for a while, that feeling will pass eventually :-)
Been there, done that. I'm glad you weren't vloging when it happened and your ok. Good thing you were able to get right back on and ride. ashf00t WILL RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!! right?
Sorry to hear about the crash...could have been a lot worse...I was thrown from my bike when I hit a pothole going about 35mph...was out of commission for about 6 weeks
Damn Ash that really sucks. You definitely have to watch out for those railroad tracks. Bikes can be fixed much easier than people so I'm glad you're OK. I still have a torn ACL from my low-side a few weeks ago...of course it was at a bit higher speed than yours =P
I am glad you are OK. You know what you know what happned and disected it very well. Be careful. Get back up ASAP. Good luck. Love the Dutch Brothers on your helmet, BTW.
Im glad your okay. It could have been so much worse. I hope the bike is a relatively easy and low cost fix. Just remember to keep your head up and I hope you keep riding. Stay safe out there.
The good thing is you werent hurt, all the years ive ridden off road and just started on road im thankful i have never had an accident. WIth a little work your bike will be looking good as new!
I hope you feel better soon. Is this your first crash?
I remember my first crash it was scary and I was lucky because I was with a friend who stopped and helped me lift my bike because I hurt my hand. He also fixed my bike so it was rideable (kind of). I was gearing up with my heel because the leaver was around the wrong way. I also had to rid for half an hour to get to a hospital because we were in the middle of nowhere. I have crashed twice and I hope I never do it again.
Your bike got a bad hit... use vortex frame sliders... considering mine went down around 60-70mph, i only had to get 2 fairings painted and not a single scratch on the sides...the mirrors are always a casualty.....
BTW cheer the hell up!... falling off the bike is part of this mode of transport.
@zoeedarshad I've got Shogun sliders, They are pretty awesome but the reason for why the rear spool slider broke wasn't because of the slider but because of the swingarm's slider mount. They don't make them that strong so it just broke clean off!
Well don't worry about the bike. I've been riding since 1998 and i know this, bikes are replaceable, we are not. So as long as you're ok, there's always going to be a bike in the assembly line waiting for you. But yes the falls do make us fearful of the ride, which is a good thing because we simultaneously become cautious and careful when riding.
Regarding the swingarm spools, to my knowledge, primarily they are there to accomodate a caenter stand so don't expect much out it.
@1: 04 your expressions girl... lol... devastating
Crahed mine 4 months ago.. you're fine, i got 2 broken bones on my right hand wrist, and thats the one with the throttle :(... still haven't been able to take the bike out on a long trip
The entire time I took my MSF training it rained like hell. I mean the WHOLE TIME...and even though I was told we were now seasoned, I wont ride in the rain. So I give you kudos for that..plus - Thank G you didnt get hurt!! Thanks for sharing....
@DJCipster4BREAKS haha, really? I didn't know you highsided! I knew you were in a crash before I found out about you. Didn't hear too much about it though.
@ashf00t heyo ashf00t glad nothing serious happened to you. to crash is what every motorcyclist has to face in his "motorcycle time". its something we all agree with when we decide riding a motorcycle. sure the first hours / days after crash when you see your bike u prob could hit yourself over and over again hehe. but from time to time you realize how much you've learned from that crash and that nothing happend to yourself. you will fix ur bike and having as much more fun than before :) greets!
@ashf00t oh alright haha. my dad taught me to ride on a honda rebel 250 and i like it but when i start college ,in the fall of 2011, i feel like ill need more power because of all the freeway riding so im liking the gsxr 600.
Glad the accident was not worse and was at low speeds. One of the dangers when riding in the rain with a motorcycle is the different surface adhesion capabilities of the tires. Thankfully the only "accident" if you can call it that with my Swing was in a gravel/paved park stopping to fast and low-siding the bike while trying to stop. Keep v-logging about your experiences, it has been very interesting to me.
Almost similar damages like I had with my ex cb500. If I crash from high speed with my gsf1200 (not crashed at all yet), I hope that I dont survive because possibility of fully recovery is very small. I crashed 5 times with my ex bikes. Motorcycling is dangerous but so is most of other lifestyles.
hopefully you know/ learn how to replace some of the parts yourself instead of making your boyfriend doing everything. In my opinion, person who cant do anything for their bikes doesnt deserve a bike.
Hey Ashf00t no worries you are breathing, walking and talking.... you are lucky cause it could have gonna way worse... But remember there are 2 types of riders those that go down and those that will go down.
I just went down at 80 after i was run into and went into a guardrail, short story but i broke my ankle so bad i had to have emergency surgery and just learned to walk again after not being able to for 2 months at all and may never be able to move my foot all the way again but i am alive..
Doesn't look so bad. The busted bobbin probably protected the rear swing arm. Hard to tell on the video. If you can't find a used fairing, you may want to repair the broken one. I hear they're expensive.
Your rear wheel probably spun under throttle on the tracks. I ran over a manhole cover in the rain on a curve. Got a nice loud bang sound out of it. Didn't upset the bike too much but startled me.
These things happen. Glad you're OK. The bike is in good shape after a high side.
You act like you were in a major accident. Yet you were going 5-10 mph. Your helmet has two tiny scratches on it. You'd quit riding probably if you broke a bone.
you said...you have to get a new swingarm in the description...is it bent?or did you just mean a new swingarm spool...ps...we still love you ashfoot...if you dont have to get a new swingarm then it shouldnt be too bad...if it was me...i would just get some apoxy and apoxy those cracks...
@Clutchisback1 no, it's not bent but it does have a rather large scratch that my bf accidentally put there a couple weeks ago so I wanted to get a new swingarm before the accident.
dam ashfoot that sucks i know how u fell cuz i crashd my bike u can see the vid is canna like ur crash is not bad but is not fun an my boy in orlando let he's boy's ride he's bike an the guy did not know how an hit the side walk like at 40mph the bike is bad ill see if i can make a vid of that pic ooo an ur man is a nice guy thats sweet wat he did for u i hope that it all go's good for u
no being sexist but suck it up.. happens to the best of us get over it and ride on no reason to sulk about it and it was barley that bad seeing how it was only 5-10mph, to be honest your being over dramatic in your video and you even say it wasn't that bad but your acting like its such a big deal.. just my 2 sense sorry if i come off being rude.

Watching Ur vid I've got a dejavue: exactly same happened to me when I was a small kid. Rain, railtrack, slipping, falling ... from bicycle, of course. At home,my mom hughed me,when I told the story, and started laughing - exactly same had happened to her when she was young: same spot,same situation, same fall.
Next morning we two went there by bicycle, and crossed the track during sunshine - my mom's antishock therapy ... ;-)

Unlucky - but glad you're ok!
That's the scariest crash to have, so make sure you get back on any bike ASAP. Chances are you'll still get The Fear for a while, but I'm sure you'll be fine! :)
Well, I say that's the scariest... A few years back I was riding along and had a fallen telephone cable go across my throat. Braking as hard as you can whilst waiting for it to tighten and lop your head off is scarier than a highside, I can confirm lol!

Was wondering why I hadn't seen anything new, that's brutal! Heh I hear you on the mirror. Had my Ninja 650 backed into at work, not only was the mirror cracked and useless I thought the mirror was going to fall off all the way home, was scary. Fun times. Almost exactly the same damage, makes you sad when you see it. :(
The important thing is that you are okay! Bikes can be fixed, so don't worry. Hows the fixing going?

it always happens going to or coming home from work... i smashed into the back end on an illegally parked 18 wheeler on the side of the long island expressway about a month ago.. theres nothing worse than the feeling you get when you lock up the back wheel and go into a slide and know your smashing into something and you cant stop it.. (stomach drops) my 09 zx6r hit at about 20mph and and i got lucky that my plastics ,ram air box and headlight assembly absorbed the whole impact..

ashf00t 1 year ago
You were extremely lucky that your first fall was as minor as it was. If a 10 to 15 mph high side is your worst wreck as long as you continue to ride during your lifetime, count yourself fortunate. Its not a matter of if you'll crash, it's when. From one vlogger to another, don't ever record in heavy rain while riding, you made a good decision by not doing so. I don't even record in the car during inclimate weather. Fix it up and get back out there. The worst thing you can do is be afraid.
Birdrunner54 1 year ago
@Birdrunner54 I know, I am very lucky, I'm glad it wasn't anything worse! I've found a cheap way to always be recording though...not necessarily vlogging though. I got a spy cam that can be put out of the way and not be distracting. Good insurance for that one day a car crashes into me from not seeing me then says I caused the accident...Here you go buddy! I've got proof you caused it :)
PS. I've been riding ever since that day, when it's your only transpo, ya kind of have to lol

damn those rail tracks! glad to hear you are ok.
when I toured New Zealand South Island there is a section where there are few that cross diagonally across the road and you need to turn against them. Fortunately I was told about this location before hand. I was told numerous people had come off there and riders with many years experience had come off, even so I thought I was completely upright crossing the first one (raining) but still my front wheel skipped
over, they are like ice in the wet.
chochi70 1 year ago
@chochi70 oo ouch, ya I'd be so careful with those now! Just the other day I went across one in a light drizzle and even though I was completely upright, my rear tire still wiggled and scared the crap out of me again. I need to talk to the city officials about it because due to tree roots or just heavy cars/trucks going over it caused the little sections of rubber to stick up and now has an uneven surface, which could cause an accident!

I remember my first crash it was scary and I was lucky because I was with a friend who stopped and helped me lift my bike because I hurt my hand. He also fixed my bike so it was rideable (kind of). I was gearing up with my heel because the leaver was around the wrong way. I also had to rid for half an hour to get to a hospital because we were in the middle of nowhere. I have crashed twice and I hope I never do it again.

ashf00t 1 year ago
Your bike got a bad hit... use vortex frame sliders... considering mine went down around 60-70mph, i only had to get 2 fairings painted and not a single scratch on the sides...the mirrors are always a casualty.....
BTW cheer the hell up!... falling off the bike is part of this mode of transport.
zoeedarshad 1 year ago
@zoeedarshad I've got Shogun sliders, They are pretty awesome but the reason for why the rear spool slider broke wasn't because of the slider but because of the swingarm's slider mount. They don't make them that strong so it just broke clean off!
ashf00t 1 year ago
Well don't worry about the bike. I've been riding since 1998 and i know this, bikes are replaceable, we are not. So as long as you're ok, there's always going to be a bike in the assembly line waiting for you. But yes the falls do make us fearful of the ride, which is a good thing because we simultaneously become cautious and careful when riding.
Regarding the swingarm spools, to my knowledge, primarily they are there to accomodate a caenter stand so don't expect much out it.

Glad the accident was not worse and was at low speeds. One of the dangers when riding in the rain with a motorcycle is the different surface adhesion capabilities of the tires. Thankfully the only "accident" if you can call it that with my Swing was in a gravel/paved park stopping to fast and low-siding the bike while trying to stop. Keep v-logging about your experiences, it has been very interesting to me.

Almost similar damages like I had with my ex cb500. If I crash from high speed with my gsf1200 (not crashed at all yet), I hope that I dont survive because possibility of fully recovery is very small. I crashed 5 times with my ex bikes. Motorcycling is dangerous but so is most of other lifestyles.
hopefully you know/ learn how to replace some of the parts yourself instead of making your boyfriend doing everything. In my opinion, person who cant do anything for their bikes doesnt deserve a bike.

Hey Ashf00t no worries you are breathing, walking and talking.... you are lucky cause it could have gonna way worse... But remember there are 2 types of riders those that go down and those that will go down.
I just went down at 80 after i was run into and went into a guardrail, short story but i broke my ankle so bad i had to have emergency surgery and just learned to walk again after not being able to for 2 months at all and may never be able to move my foot all the way again but i am alive..

Doesn't look so bad. The busted bobbin probably protected the rear swing arm. Hard to tell on the video. If you can't find a used fairing, you may want to repair the broken one. I hear they're expensive.
Your rear wheel probably spun under throttle on the tracks. I ran over a manhole cover in the rain on a curve. Got a nice loud bang sound out of it. Didn't upset the bike too much but startled me.
These things happen. Glad you're OK. The bike is in good shape after a high side.
